    I use Firefox on desktop but on Android i use Brave for one single reason: it lets me open links in the full browser rather than a webview. Or whatever that tech is called. I hate that stuff. It drives me absolutely bonkers. Like, you might think that’s irrational and/or that i have some kind of anger management problem but i promise you it is way beyond that. I’m fucking actually feral about this. This one thing determines which browser i use. If i couldn’t find one with it i would have to start uninstalling apps that don’t let me force full external browsers.

    Firefox used to allow you to force this setting but at some point stopped. I don’t know why. Give it back, please. (Along with full desktop extensions…)

    Anyway if anyone knows how to change this i would be happy.

      Imagine throwing your whole privacy away because of a single niche issue.

          Can you please read the rest of this thread and then come back and tell me how you can support a company like that?

            Easy: I don’t chose my products based on political alignments of the manufacturer. Do you ask your baker for their political views before buying bread? Do you ask your barber? Why should I suddenly care when it comes to software?

              I do. I do not put an Alexa in my house as that company can not be trusted. I do not buy food from certain companies as they can not trusted. I do not install software on my system from companies that can not be trusted, have a shitty track record. I vote with my wallet.
